Brief car history:
After modding up a brand new 03 Hyundai Tiburon I had for a few years I got a 2003 VW GTI 20th anniversary edition and FELL.IN.LOVE! I kept it until 2010 when my wife and I got a brand new Fusion sport and a WRX. Funny thing, I missed my GTI. It was just way more fun to drive than the WRX. I kept the WRX until last year and sold it to get my wife a Ford Edge (growing family). I drove the Fusion for awhile after that and didn't think I'd miss that car. So I got an Explorer and have felt lost ever since lol. Okay, just kidding... but not really. It's time to get back to my GTI-ish roots with Sonic. Kind of a poor man's version of the GTI, I guess, I'm saving 15K so it's also the smart man's version. Looking forward to the 35MPG and handling again.

It's about 330 miles away and I'll have it this week. I'm pretty damn excited. Got it at a KILLER price.
MODS:
Doesn't seem to be much info on the 2017's but figuring most will either fit or become available this is what I plan to do on top of the premium package. I still have a bit of research to do so this could change.
Catback, Intake, Tuner, BOV, Short Shifter. I'll probably do 2 or 3 things a year - after the warranty expires, of course. =) Thanks for having me.
